Dagny vs Manus
Manus is delegation magic: describe a project, come back to a finished report, deck, or even a deployed website. Dagny is relationship-shaped rather than project-shaped: she is in your channels between the big asks, keeping the business moving.

Manus finishes whole projects while you sleep.

I'm there between the projects, too.

What Manus does well
Genuinely impressive end-to-end sessions: research, decks, data work, even building and deploying websites, with every step visible and a clean stop button. As a brilliant contractor for defined projects, it earns the attention.
Where Dagny is different
With Manus, you are the project manager: open the app, define the task, spend the credits, collect the deliverable. Between sessions, nothing is watching the business. Dagny inverts that. She is already in your Slack and your texts with the context, notices what needs doing, and brings it to you with a draft ready. And where Manus deploys a website as a deliverable, Dagny builds, hosts, and maintains yours as an ongoing job, edits included.

Common questions
- Can't Manus build my website too?
- It can build and deploy one, and impressively. The difference is what happens next: Dagny hosts it, maintains it, edits it when you text her, and keeps it current as the business changes. A website is not a deliverable; it is a job.
- How is Dagny different from Manus?
- Manus is project-shaped: you launch sessions and collect deliverables. Dagny is a standing teammate in your Slack, texts, and email who notices work between the big asks and checks with you before anything goes out.
- Can I use both?
- Sure. Some teams launch Manus for one-off deep projects and keep Dagny for the daily running of the business.
However you compare, two things stay true. Dagny works with you in the loop: she drafts, you approve, she sends, and nothing reaches a customer without your yes. And behind her there are people. Our team is a message away whenever you want a human.
